Shad Run Continues in Connecticut River

[Shad roe...blettccccccccchh!]

”Every spring, the shad return from the open ocean to run up the Connecticut River to spawn. The run, which has been terrible for the past decade, is on right now. So far, things look encouraging for a stronger-than-normal run this spring. As one veteran shad fishermen told me Friday: "It's got to be better this year; the shad fishermen are not crying as much as usual." Restaurants along the Connecticut River report they have had shad on their menus for several weeks, and you can expect it to remain there through June."

Shoo-Fly's 2018 season...

...on the Housatonic River and Long Island Sound is delayed for health reasons...but hope to be back on the water soon....

Don’t forget, a saltwater fishing license is required to fish the marine waters of Connecticut...and, if you intend to fish above the Merritt Parkway bridge on the Housatonic River, you also need a Connecticut freshwater license. You can purchase these from your local bait & tackle shop, at Town/City Hall, or online at "Licenses" in the Important Links list, below.
